Critters on the march.....

Well, it happens every summer! Regardless of how clean and tidy I keep my kitchen, or how often trash is taken out or spills wiped up, they come. And they come in droves. Ants. Troops of them. And you know what? They are not the cute, smarmy animated ones that develope relationships with other bugs and have problems that you wish you could help solve.

NOT AT ALL! They are tenacious, they bring their bigger cousins who bite your toes, crawl into the dog dish and disrupt your already busy morning!

(This is not my kitchen!)

There were times when an ant attack would reduce me to tears, especially when they crawled into the food in my pantry. Oh help me Lord! I was already taking care of small people, getting my husband happily off to work, and trying to keep our home in order--I did not then, nor do I now have time for ants or the money to replace the food they ruin! Arrrgh!

HAVE YOU HEARD OF MODULAR MATES? They are one of the cornerstones of Tupperware's food storage line. Modular Mates saved my sanity! And they save space in my pantry! My food stays fresher longer so they save money! Since my pantry is organized and I can see what I have, I no longer double purchase items---there I go, saving money again! Can you tell how much I love my Modular Mates?! Wait! It gets even better! Since converting my pantry with Modular Mates I no longer get critters in my crackers! Love it!

Now, I'm not saying that ever since I re-organized my pantry that I have changed my mind about ants! Oh no! I still shudder when I see them congregate like missionaries around the kitchen baseboards. I want to let you in on a little secret to save you money while you fight the ants. First, get yourself a little boric acid (I got it in powdered form at Wal Mart--dirt cheap! Wayyyy cheaper than the little ant traps!) and mix it with equal parts sugar (yes, sugar!), then add hot water, but just enough of it to make a thick liquid. Store it under your kitchen sink in a glass jar, but draw a skull and cross bones on it!! When the ants come calling you can pour them a little dish of this liquid sunshine and they will fall down and call you blessed! No joke! The boric acid is odorless, flavorless, and colorless (be on guard for little people and pets!) The ants will gather around this watering hole like it was happy hour and after they have loaded themselves to the gills, they'll take some back to their ever-lovin' queen and load her up, too! Bang! Bang! They're dead! Ding! Dong! The queen is dead and so are all her future generations! Now, keep in mind that there could be more queens to take down, so keep it around and be patient.

ALWAYS WASH YOUR HANDS AFTER USING THIS LIQUID!

But, I digress! Back to Modular Mates. I know of one Tupperware Consultant that carries around a Super Oval container with brown sugar in it (this is not the one she uses to feed her family) and passes it around at her parties. The brown sugar in this container is soft and moist. She has kept that brown sugar in that Modular Mate for THREE YEARS! Let's say you get some Modular Mates and you want to put your bag of brown sugar into one of them, but the brown sugar is hard as a rock! DON'T THROW THE BROWN SUGAR AWAY! Put it into the Modular Mate with a fresh piece of bread. Apply the seal and leave it alone for 24 hours. When you open up the Modular Mate the next day, that piece of bread will be harder than burnt toast, but your brown sugar will have absorbed the moisture from the bread and be soft and pliable!

What a wonder!

What a miracle!

Model Citizen: BarBe Q

Times are tough, all over. But that's no reason to lose your sense of humor, people.

For instance, there's this place in Reading, Ohio, a barbeque joint, with a very clever owner. He has this great idea to attract attention to his restaurant. He puts a busty mannequin (which is actually a sandwich board) out front and the people came running. He dubs her "BarBe Q", dresses her in a bikini top and shorts, and dog gone it if it didn't return his business to a pre-recessionary level! Amazing!

There's one problem. Some of the folks in town don't like it, her, BarBe Q. Some folks thought she was a hooker (no, dears, those move). Parents of children walking past the restaurant to a religious school demanded that BarBe Q put on a shirt (So, they're all right with a little leg, it's the boom boom's that has them up in arms.) Even the owner is perplexed. "I had no idea a plastic doll would raise such a ruckus."

So why is it that this sandwich broad, uh, board is getting folks so upset? All she's doing is using her rack to sell a rack (of ribs). Then it hits me: plastic envy. If you've got 'em, you're not happy with 'em, be they part of your anatomy or your wife's. They're not perky enough, they're not round enough. Well, people of Reading, Ohio, I have your solution:

FORGET ME NOTS!

Are your sisters sagging?

Do your love lumps need a lift?

Try Forget Me Nots on for size!

Cheaper than plastic surgery, with no risk of complications, won't you be the belle of the ball when you walk in to the "Women With Nothing Better To Do Society" showcasing your bodacious ta-ta's that double as a fabulous food storage device?!! No one on the council will be able to stay on the topic of book banning while you're sitting there with your pert princesses staring back at them!

Forget Me Nots come in a set of three, no, not to pander to some sick fantasy, but to give you options, folks! Have you ever cut a few slices of tomato, put it in a plastic bag, only to go after it a month later to find it would be unrecognizable even to it's own mother? Put that tomato in a Forget Me Not, slide it on your refrigerator shelf within view, and (oh my goodness!) you will no longer have to eat tomatoes with a sidecar of penicillin.

The Forget Me Not Set comes with one square 16 oz container (think cheese) and two round 12 oz containers. You can store onions without them stinking up the entire icebox, or put half a lemon in there. All this food storage bliss, dishwasher safe, comes to you for a mere $17.00.

Visit me at www.my2.tupperware.com/wendyfullmer and you can experience the joy of plastic envy yourself.

Or, have a party with me and get them FREE!

Everybody loves a little free plastic, don't they BarBe Q?

Welcome to my blog!

Here you'll learn about all things Tupperware!



Hey!
Don't click off yet! You know, everybody needs Tupperware! And if you don't have any yet, you just need a little indoctrination, that's all! Once you have it in your life you'll wonder how you ever got along without it!


For instance, think about poor Sarah Palin, soon to be out of a job.




She's going to have to watch her budget, make that moose last longer for her loved ones.



Sarah's going to need some Vent N' Serve containers to keep that moose fresh in the freezer.



When she's dead tired on her feet from her speaking engagements, or job hunting, or Dave Letterman scolding, she can pop that Vent N' Serve container out of the freezer and into the microwave to re-heat for some tasty meals for her family.

After la familia has devoured all that tender, tasty moose, Sarah can put that Vent N' Serve container into the dishwasher, giving her more time to spend with her family.


I eat Bison, so if Vent N' Serve containers keep Bison meat fresh and tasty, it can do the same for Moose meat!


The Vent N' Serve set is made out of microwave safe plastics (and you know, folks, you should never re-heat food on high in your microwave) that go from freezer to microwave to dishwasher.

They come with the Tupperware guarantee, they keep you organized, save you time and save you money. And moose.


Visit www.my2.tupperware.com/wendyfullmer to learn more about the wonderful Vent N' Serve line.

The set you see pictured in the blog is the 5 piece large set (two medium shallow containers, one medium deep, one divided dish--great for office lunches, and the exclusive Large Deep, only available in this set) in Cosmos Black and Lipstick. It's a $92.50 value, but Tupperware will let you have it for only $84.50.

You can earn it for free having a party with me!

So, Sarah darling, you can have your moose and heat it, too!


Have a Tuppertastic Day!
